I have a headache and nausea?

Question

I have an unusual headache that hurts a lot in addition to giving me nausea I have taken tylenol every 3 hours but nothing works, it hurts all the way to my eyes. I am not pregnant and I have no allergies. I am not taking anything other than tylenol, water and gaterade, and the pressure in my head makes my forehead hurt and if I move too much I get dizzy.

Hello Ma'am, I'm sorry to read about your troubles! Besides Tylenol, have you tried anything else? Are you currently taking any other medications? Are you pregnant or trying to get pregnant, or are you breastfeeding? Do you have any known allergies, intolerances, or contraindications to any products? Thank you Thanks for the feedback! I recommend ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin and other brands) which can be effective for pain relief (take with food as it can irritate the digestive mucosa!) I recommend discontinuing Tylenol if you find it ineffective, and I would like to mention that it should not be taken less than 4 hours apart. Gravol can relieve nausea and is available without a prescription and in different forms such as tablets, chewable tablets, liquid and suppositories. Continue to stay hydrated and rest as much as possible. If the situation persists for more than 72 hours without improvement , you should consult a doctor, if only as a precaution. I hope I've been helpful, and I'm available if you have any further questions! Tom Samaha, pharmacist
